Saber…

[ her eyes widen slightly again when she hears what the wish was for, genuine shock written across her face. as obvious as it might have been to everyone else, it sounds like she would have been the last to figure it out. never in a million years would she have imagined that he would have spent his reward on something that would benefit her.

she feels… overwhelmed. she looks around, hoping that no one else is watching this, and then back up at saber. ]

You don’t… you don’t have to do any of that, Saber. I’ll take care of it, I promise. Even if I have to buy a new wallet for it or something.

[ she laughs, trying to play it off as something casual… but she can’t. it’s impossible to not be impacted by the weight of this gift. of course, her kneejerk reaction is to want to reject it— she wants to say that she’s not deserving of this and that saber should take it back, but…

fighting against those instincts, she pockets the card and, mustering all her courage, she looks up to richard with a warm smile on her face. ]

Thank you… even if you didn’t answer my question.
